Go Dave. David Perry is to receive an honorary degree from Queen's University alongside the likes of Tony Blair and Bertie Ahern for "distinction in computer game development and design". He gets a DSc in engineering.

We had dinner with Dave last year at GDC, and he's a very nice man indeed. So congratulations to you. Don't get too near Tony Blair. You might get infected.

Patrick Garratt is a games media legend - and not just by reputation. He was named as such in the UK's 'Games Media Awards', the equivalent of a lifetime achievement award. After garnering experience on countless gaming magazines, he joined Eurogamer and later split from that brand to create VG247, putting the site on the map with fast, 24-hour a day coverage, and assembling the site's earliest editorial teams. He retired from VG247, and the games industry, in 2017.
